TE1B art of Ucep-fnt frying is little ,
understood In tin average home '
today, Yet thin method Is not only the ,
most dependable, but It really N more
healthful than snuteing Hautcing Is
i cooking foods In a hot frying inn with
thi minimum amount of fnt ; food cooked
In this manner Is usually greasy, heavy t
and unsightly.
, Deep-fat frying Is cooking the food I
. by Immersing It In hot fat at n temper- I
. ' ature ranging from 3B0 to 400 degrees
Fahrenheit: no given temperature ts nr- (
vbltrary. Crullers and croquettes nre'
' .best cooked at a temperature of 350 de
grees Fahrenheit, while the French -fried
onions -and noodles and French -fried
potatoes cook bct in n higher temper
ature. I
JThe correct utensil plays a very im
portant part in the correct frying of nil
foods. A flat-bottom pan at lent six
inches deep is a proper utensil to use.
JvitJh sufficient fat to cover the article
to- be cooked. Do not have the fat
within three Inches of the top. Now
thW method can be made most economi- j
Cal if. you will but learn to coat or
. din the article properly and then mnin-
talri sufficient temperature to cook the '
food without letting it absorb the fnt.
"When cooking, do not place over four
or five pieces of food in the fat nt one
time. else, this will lower the tempera
ture and cause the food to nborb the
(crease. Therefore, if properly managed.
deep-fat frying Is most economical. He
(hire not to overheat the fat. and then
Rtraln It Into a bowl after cooking. This
fat can then be utilized again. As a
matter of economy it will pay you to
invest in a thermometer for frying
How to prepare croquettes, cutlets,
'etc.. for deep-fat frying:
After compounding the recipe, place
the mixture on n shallow pinto to cool
and allow nbout two hours, then form
Into croquettes nr cutlets mid shape

milk and then roll in sifted bread

Now, the consistency of the croquettes
or cutlets makes it either a dry. taste

that the epicures delight in. Ho it is
necessary to have It creamy. Croquettes
of cooked peas, lima beans, navy beans h ,f o shortcnine i fr,

Going to Be Married

going to be married about the middle of
the summer to h yountr man In the serv
ice. He expects to be married In uni
form, nnd I would like to know what
would be appropriate for me to wear nt
a morning or afternoon home wedding
MILDRED
It would be perfeetlv appropriate for
you to wear the regulation wedding
dress with a tulle or lace veil For
summer It Is always pretty to have
georgette crepe or net Instead of tin
usual satin, and the dress should b-
simply made. If you prefer to be mar
ried In a hat Instead of a veil you
could wear a white hat with the same
kind of georgette or net drfss and white
slippers in either morning or after
noon, or If you prefei something even
more severe than that you ccruld wear
a dark blue afternoon dress and black
tulle har. which ou could travel In
afterward. Crepe de chine, pussy
willow satin or some material of that
kind would be best for the dark dress.
Dark pumps and stockings should be
worn with it
Adventures With a Purse
"NK shop is displaying books for the
vacation trip. They nre quite well.
but inexpensively bound, so that while
one need have no hesitancy about carry
ing them, one need have no hesitancy
cither in cnting them n'idc afterward.
Their price is seventy-five cents each,
nnd among the collection I saw the
name of .Irffroy Fnrnol, Mrs Humphry
Ward, Mrs. Grace Livingston I.utz. and
i others quite as well known. All the
' books in the collection look very inter-
I 'E,in' just th" Fort m,Sbt

It is from Paris that the powder-puff
I handkerchiefs, most novel creations,
first csme. And one can easily picture
a fluffy Parisian lady whisking out a
handkerchief of pale pink silk, match
ing her blouse or ruffled evening gown.
Hut. not to digress, I must describe the
powder-puff handkerchief for you. As
its name implies, it is primarily n hand
kerchief, of silk. Sewed securely in the
'center is n soft round powder puff, of, I
think, lamb's wool, and sewed nrounil
the puff is n tiny gathering string that
pulls the handkerchief together, entirely
concealing the puff. Tucked away, too,
in this little hiding place Is n tiny box
of powder. You can readllpsee the ad
vantage of a puff of this kind. The
handkerchief comes In scvernl colors,
pule, pink, pnlc blue and lavender, nnd
affords a splendid way to carry powder
i when wearing a light dress with which
a purse would not be in keeping. The
price, complete, is seventy-five cents.
The cover and holder for a tumbler
nre very convenient, both for her who
keeps n glnss of wnter by her bed ut
, night and for her who must take medi
cine. It is not necessary for me to say
I that the holder protects the table, or
I wherever the glnss is nlaced, from wnter
marks. And the top keeps the glass
covered, and thus protects it from dis
turbing germs nr,d dust. The set is
made of natural wood, with on artistic
inlaid design, and is prifu at fifty
cents. This would make a very nice
gift for the sick friend.

THE DAILY
NOVELETTE
AX ISLAND I THE FAMILY
Iy JOHN KI.IOT WESTON
gEATED In the couch hammock, Jean
awaited the arrival of Porter Phil
lips She would be glad to see him. yet
she dreaded the news he might bring
relative to the passing of a certain bill
If that bill had passed, Jean would lose
her Island, with Its pines and rocks and
low gray-shlngled bungalow
For certain legislators, become aware
of the fact that most of the Islands in
the lake were being held under "squat
ters rights," had proposed that all such
properties be taken oer by the state
and mnde Into a reservation Only own
ers with clear titles would not be affect-
tt , n nafI no clenr title.
Hark there was the old Pipedreatu
now! with a quickening of her pulse,
she ran down to the landing "Porter,
I m awfully glad to see you. Did the
bill pass?'
Porter, stepping from the launch.
gripped her .hands in Ills "Jean. dear.
It did. And tho girl knew the little
. m. of endearment gave the measure
of his sympathy.
Presently over tall glasses of some
thing fruity nnd cool, brought by Jean's
little maid, they discussed the situation.
The burning of the Beldon Town
Hall played the deuce with the records,"
mused Porter "Your father never men
tioned whether he held a deed?"
".Vo," paid Jean, "and after his death
only your father over came here until I
had the bungalow built. I'll go through
his papers, but I feel sure I shall not
find It."
When Porter rose to go, a sud,den Im
pulse seized him "Jean !" he cried, tak.
lng a step forward
The girl drew back. "Not not yet,"
she said.
"Jean' When'"
"My thoughts nre so full of losing the
island you understand?" she pleaded.
"Of course." said Porter comprehend
Ingly, and with a frlendlv little nod
turned down to the boat. He hud for
gotten everything but the nearness und
doamess of her And, bv Ocorge he had
forgotten to tell lier about Nancy !
An hour later, Jean slipped the band
around the Inst package of papers which
hud been her fathers Thev had yielded
her nothing Feverishly ehe picked up
some old books opened them, held them
upside down and slmok them violently.
From one, a loose leaf fluttered out
then, what was that vellow paper?
"With unsteady flncers she opened It
out. Yes, it was a deed with her
father's signature, registering the sale
of the Island But to whom was the
Island sold' Not to her fnther ' Hut
by her father to to John Wllllarn Phil
lips. She had n'vrr hoard of him. Why.
how silly of her' That was Porter's
father ' The book must have been his.
Mechanically, she turned back to the
flyleaf. Yes, there was the same name
ill cramperl faciei! writing So the Islnnil
was Porter's' She must tell him right
away
Presently, kneeling In the stern of
the light Canadian canoe, she guided
tho craft out Into the calm waters, re
flecting the gathering splendor of the
sunset.
As she neared the Island on which
he had told her he had pitched his tent,
she saw the dim smoke of a fire. But
what was that silhouetted agaliwt the
tent's whltencfs, their outlines picked
out by the firelight ' The figures of a
man and woman the woman's head rest
ing on the shoulder of the man.
Thunderstruck Jean paused, her pad
dle lifted, th'n turned homeward as
silently as sli. had come How could
he havo hinted that he loved her oh,
how could he'
Into hr bitter meditations a thought
Insinuated Itself. In her sweater pocket
she held Porter's punishment. A little
flip of that vellowed paper Into the lake
and who would be trie wiser? He de
served to lo.su it ho did he did I
Once more she bent to the paddle. In
tho morning she would take Porter his
deed then go hack to the city and
forget
'Some nne waitlne for vou on the ver
andah wa 'Vila's greeting as she en
tered the rear of the bungalow
Wondei InK. Jean stepped to the open
door
"Jean" t-aid a familiar voice, softly.
She prfusrd. her hand at her throat.
Porter must have come to the landing
whllo he wsh pulling her canoe out
back on the bathing beach. Well, It
saved her a raddle In the morning. .
"Here, she said coldly. "Is something
of yours.'
Porter, aware of the hostility In her
tone, took the paper she. held out, struck
a match nnd read by the wavering light.
"Wh our fnther sold this Island to
my father' How very strange! No
wonder vou are feellnu badly."
Jean dashed forth at that. "Porter
Phillips' Do you suppose I am as small
as all that' If you were only what I
thought vou are- "
repeated Porter "I say, Jean, would
you mind saying that again?"
"As If you didn't know! Here this
very afternoon, you let me think all
sorts of things. Yet tonight I saw you
with your arm around "
"My cousin Nanny," murmured Por
ter "No, wait You flldnt see my arm
around any one. My cousin Nancy Is
here with her husband taking a cruise
of the lake ns part of their wedding
trip They arrived this morning, and

them the use of my tent and stuff You

Porter, forgive me," whispered Jean.
Forgive you? Bless you. rather For

Asks What "De Jure" Means
Dear Cynthia May I Inquire win De

tnnn a roadster? ,,
You see. It's rather puzzling, Ml"
been away on a long trip nnd that s
the only copy of your pnper 1'vell9?.',n'
I've never expressed a like or t"B"1K?
for nny of the girls In comparison with
my enr, although I've hnd more nnfl
better fun with my enr thnn I ever
did with a girl.
If some one else has written ana
signed my nom de plume I am un
aware of what It was all about
I'll hope for nn early answer and re
main the real GASOLINE OUS.
Perhnns "De Jure" will answer your
question himself and quote what It was
he thought you said or meant At any
rnto we'll give him the chance, lour
nom co plumo has not been taken by
any one else.
Shall She Ask Him?
Dear Cynthia You have helped others
ana now i am coming to you for anvico.
I have met a boy about three times
and we have had fun together. He has
never taken mo home nor asked me
out, but Is always asking me to come
nnd see his sister. (Wo are great
friends.) When iv tne nut he always
had n girl and I wan with a bov. so he
never had a 'chance to ask me very
well.
Now, I have a ticket .tor a dnnce nnd
would like to ask him to go with me I
don't expect to see him hefor the dnnce.
hut do you think It would be forward
for me to call him on the telephone nnd
ask htm to go with mo? MARIE.
It seems since you have only met this
boy. three times, It would be better to
let the first advances to friendship come
from him. Ask some one elso to take
you to this dance. It's never a good
plan to run after a man. as it were.
Let him do the seeking.

About that love question I dared

your answer to the question nnd I'll

More to "Acetylene"
Dear Cynthia I would like to write a
few lines to "Acetylene."
I am cry sorry to sav that I am
much afraid that you will not be able
to find a girl with the qualifications you
wish, and as far as dancing Is con
cerned you have the wrong Idea
I am a young man In my twenties
and have also done quite a bit of
traveling myself and I will say that tho
first thing I ever look for In a new town
Is a dance, as I can make quicker ami
better acquaintances there thnn any
other place I dase go so far us to
say that there are far better girls at
dnnces than at any of the places you
have been. But alas! This Is not 1898
nor Is Philadelphia a hick town, so my
advice Is to try a dance and some of tho
12 o'clock kind, and don't mind the
other fellows she goes with but If you
care for her look out for yourself.
THE INQUIRER
Says There's Good In All
Dear Cynthia In answer to "A. L. C."
regarding her answer to "Dan B.," allow
me to sav this
Why, If this fellow you went out with
Had nn innocent expression, did you
put yourself on your sruard. This
fellow probably knows some of the evils
that preall among us, but wants to
be good and look past these evils and
lead a straight and honest life. It Is
natural In all of us to know some llttlo
evil, but that doesn't mean that we
should lmlulKe in It.
There are many who know bad things
who try to be good, but other people
who know that they know them causo
them to be called angels and raau
queradcrs. So. "A L C " next time you meet a
fellow with an Innocent expression, act
right and sou'll see If he doesn't menu
to bo good EM ZEE.

teen years and am longing to become

intently, and tho scenario writer does
not seem to know that ho Is hero por

Harvard degree," as the subtitle de
lines the listener, but a low eaves
dropper. Eavesdropping is not alone a shnme
rul breach of good manners', It is a
corroding defect in character. Honor
able men and women will not listen to
any conversation not Intended to be

better not to think so much nbout boys.

Parents Do Not Approve
Dear Cynthln I am sure you will
advise me what to do. 1 am seventeen
venra of nge and considered good-look-i.'j
AI'hough young In yenrs I am old
In Ideas. I do not run nround to dances
and clubs as other girls do. but sit at
home every evening, rending, sewing
or crocheting.
About a year ago I became acquainted
with n soldier. I only knew him for a
week tfhen ho left for a distant city.
Before he left he nsked me to correspond
with him. which I did, nnd our corres
pondence was verv regular. He was
away .about one year nnd three months
Durlngi that time my people learned
of my affection for this young man and
objected to my correspondence because
they heard dlsngreenble things about his
character. His bov friends and girl
friends all think nnd spenk highly of his
character with tho exception of a few,
whopi I believe do not like him.
Now Cynthia, I love this fellow very
much nnd my thoughts are always of
mm. He returned nbout a week ago.
He saw mo but never spoke a word to
me. I believe ho has heard about my
people disapproving of my friendship
with him through his relatives. I
would like very much to resumo our
friendship ns before. Will you plense
advise mo what to do as I am heart
broken? WEEPING.
As you are very young nnd your
parents disapprove, you would do well
to listen and not enter Into an engage
ment with this man.
At the same time he should bo given
the right to clear himself of their
charges.
Why not write to him and assure him
of your friendship and ask him to come
and Be you? Then hnve a talk with
have faith in him, but feeling as you are
havo faith In him. but feel aa you are
still very young you must wait till you
are older before having any engagement.
A Clever Idea
During a month's quarantine, my
nursery was stripped of rugs, curtains
and pictures, leaving It bare and unat
tractive for the sick children. I bought
crepe paper with Christmas, Hallowe'en
and Thanksgiving pictures, and using
pins freely, hung curtains and other dec
orations everywhere. As the little ones
became convalescent, wo took down a
strip at a time and cut out the figures
with blunt scissors. It whlled away
many a tedious hour, and when the
quarantine was lifted, all was quickly
burned. McCall's. y
Good Economy
Keep a kitchen chart with separate
column for each store where food Is
bought Set down each Item with price,
nnd buy certain standard goods at the
store which sells a cent or so cheaper.
Compare from time to tlmo and keep up
your Interest by footing up tho pennlse
saved.

"Asco" Blend Coffee is carefully roasted fresh daily in
our own big plants, under the supervision of our "coffee
wizards," men who have spent their lives around coffee,
who know coffee "like a book." It was these coffee experts
who discovered a certain combination of high-grade coffees,
blended by a special process, that produced "Asco" Blend, a
coffee that connoiseurs immediately endorsed as "rare."
It has a certain delightful aroma and satisfying flavor that
places it entirely in a class by itself.

The Marriage Trifler
By HAZEL DEYO IJATCHELOR
Covvrioht, ipsa, hu Put) No Ledger Co.
narbara Knight has never takon
anything in life seriously and -consequently
her marriage to Keith Orant
does not touch her very seriously,
not enough to cuuse her to give much
thought to it There is a wide differ
ence between her own and Keith'e
thoughts and ideas about life, but
narbara does not realize this until
she hears of Keith's friendship witn
Kathcine Newbcry, his private secre
tary. Then all at once it Is as though
her eyes were suddenly opened, and
she sets everything more plainly. She
sees the shallowness of society, and
she i forced to see her little sister
F.Uanor, influenced by the life she
sees about her, almost make a fear
ful mistake,
BARBARA, always looked back upon
that night with a shudder of dread,
although It developed thnt things were
not nearly as bad as she had thought
thev would be. Eleanor had a good
night's sleep, and awoko with some of
her lost spirits regained. She was very
much subdued, but she had the Knight
pride, and sho managed to carry things
off with a high hand. She even stood the
leasing and allusions of the others and
she managed to greet Randall with a
certain amount of poise, although she
took care not to be alone with him a
second.
Barbara was up In her room with
Eleanor seated In the wide window
seat after breakfast the next mornlncr.
when Zelti brought her a note.
"It's from Kendall Hnndall," she said,
her eyes running quickly through It. "He
wants to see you."
Eleanor shuddered. "Oh, I couldn't,
Barbara, I couldn't speak to him alone."
"Do you want mc to see him?"
"O. would you do that for me, would
you?" Eleanor's tone was pathetically
eager And t.o It was that Barbara met
Kendnlt Randall downstairs and heard
him moke his anolocles.
"I was a fool." lie s-aid, meeting the
honest scorn In Barbara's eyes with his
own sorry and ashamed. "And I love
Eleanor: I want to marry her.
"You could havo remembered that she
Is-only a child," Barbara said scathingly,
"and besides you couldn't love her; what
you love Is her youth, her freshness.
Yours Is a relflsh love, and If she had
nny feeling at all for you, you've killed

justify nor fighting for him.
She realized a great many things now
that she had never thought of much

Eleanor squeezed her hand suddenly
and Barbara turned and met the girl's
blue eyes
"Let me come over and stay all night

asked.
Barbara nodded. "We'll have an old
